First of all, this was a fun and friendly conversation until you pulled up on your high horse.

And now, you seem intent to show off what an a@@ you really are.

Read the verse IN CONTEXT...

Don't just stop when convenient.

Yeah, prooftexts are fine...and history if full of people, like you, who use them.


Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.


Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.


Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.


Isa 53:5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.


The following verses describe Jesus' torture and execution, and the reaction of those around him.

Buddy, you reap what you sow.

Little Suzie was skipping down the street. She came upon her grandma's cabin and entered. She then discovered that her grandma had been eaten by a wolf and became sick.

Using the same interpretive reasoning you use for Is. 53, Little Suzie was skipping because her grandma was killed by a wolf.

There's this little thing in writing called "timeline," you might want to look into it. There is NO reason to interpret the scriptures the way you have in Is. 53. Your view of Is. 53 is just that: your view. It is absolutely not the traditional one. It is your unreasonable, unnecessary interpretation invented for God know what your purpose is. Either you're stupid or you have an agenda. If the former, good enough. If the latter I can't imagine what. A pretty Jesus doesn't do good for anyone. The very reason God made Jesus look normal is so that people followed the truth of his message rather than his attractiveness. That's God--smart.
